Multiply the terms
x2×x(6−2x)
Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents
x2+1(6−2x)
Add the numbers
x3(6−2x)
x3(6−2x)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x3=06−2x=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=06−2x=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
6−2x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−2x=0−6
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−2x=−6
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
2x=6
Divide both sides
22x=26
Divide the numbers
x=26
